CHAPTER 998: CHAPTER 996: PLEASE GO AHEAD

"What are you going to do?!"

Lu Xiaobu’s reckless actions made the hairs of the Japan Emperor stand on end!

His eyes, blinded by excitement, and his brain began to clear up gradually.

"Are you Lu Xiaobu?!"

The Japan Emperor suddenly jumped three feet into the air, as if struck by lightning: "You are the real Lu Xiaobu, not just someone who looks like him!"

He understood!

Completely understood!

Although Japan is a constitutional monarchy, he is still the Emperor. In today’s world, who wouldn’t show him some flattery upon meeting him!?

Even if the flattery is insincere, it’s still the same!

But! There’s one person who wouldn’t!

That person is Lu Xiaobu!

He’s really foolish!

I should have guessed it earlier!

"Protect! Protect! Someone come!" The Japan Emperor tightly grasped the katana in his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs.

He guessed that there was definitely something wrong with that drink.

"Take your time shouting, no rush." Lu Xiaobu leisurely swirled the liquid in his cup.

At this moment.

A flash of menace passed through the Japan Emperor’s eyes.

Beneath this menace, however, was a look of excitement.

Victory was within reach!

Lu Xiaobu hadn’t even noticed yet!

He thought that Lu Xiaobu was formidable, but it seems he’s just a fool!

Well, it’s understandable!

After all, Lu Xiaobu’s wits are unparalleled, possibly only matched by Ghost Fox!

If Lu Xiaobu’s Kung Fu was also impressive, that would be a bit much!

Forget it, Lu Xiaobu, my respect from the Japan Emperor will be my parting gift to you!

Thinking of this, he even slightly bowed his head to show his respect!

The reason the Japan Emperor had such thoughts could be found in his gaze.

There was a reflection!

The reflection was Lu Xiaobu, and behind Lu Xiaobu was a silent person!

This person raised a Short Blade, with eyes as calm as a robot’s, and unhesitatingly aimed at Lu Xiaobu’s head!

This was the Japan Emperor’s personal ninja!

A guard unknown even to the island, let alone Ghost Fox!

Seeing the Japan Emperor’s bow, Lu Xiaobu’s lips curled up slightly—in truth, despite everything else, he genuinely admired this old guy’s action!

After all, respecting the enemy is respecting oneself—a truth not many understand!

But unfortunately, old guy, you and I walk different paths that can’t work together!

"Swish!"

Lu Xiaobu’s Charging Shield was activated!

Just like before, this supposed guard’s deadly strike did no harm to Lu Xiaobu!

After all, after last time, Lu Xiaobu recharged a billion directly!

He could momentarily hold off even a Grandmaster, let alone a knife!

The ninja, who initially had an indifferent expression, was instantly shocked!

This person clearly had no protection!

Why is this happening?!

And right then.

A black gun barrel appeared before his face!

"Boom!"

A small bullet froze his shock and surprise permanently on his face!

"Boom!"

The Japan ninja fell heavily to the ground.

Lu Xiaobu acted as if nothing happened, casually tossed the pistol onto the table, continued swirling his wine glass, and walked towards the Japan Emperor.

"What’s going on?!"

The Japan Emperor lifted his head and looked at the ninja’s corpse on the ground, his pupils dilating instantly!

What’s going on?!

What happened in that instant?!

His most trusted ninja, despite not being skilled in Kung Fu, was an expert in one-hit kills!

However, why didn’t he succeed and instead got shot?!

"Come, no need to struggle."

Lu Xiaobu stood by the Japan Emperor: "If you drink it by yourself, consider it my respect to you! Allowing you a thread of dignity before losing consciousness!"

"Do you think that’s possible?!" The Japan Emperor shouted sternly.

Simultaneously, he swung his katana down towards the nearing Lu Xiaobu!

He absolutely wouldn’t allow himself to surrender without resistance!

"Ah!" Lu Xiaobu shook his head: "You’re a smart person too, do you think I’d come unprepared?!"

The Japan Emperor squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth without saying a word, slashing again!

As expected, not a scratch was made.

"How is it possible?!" The Japan Emperor was utterly shocked!

He clearly targeted Lu Xiaobu’s vital spot, and saw with his own eyes that the man had no protection.

But why can’t his knife penetrate?!

Why is it this way?!

It’s not scientific!

However, shortly after, his mouth was filled with a bitter taste.

Forget it, the reason doesn’t matter anymore!

He lost!

Lost thoroughly, reduced to a piece of meat on someone else’s chopping block!

"This cup, right." The Japan Emperor tossed the knife aside, straightened his clothes, and said to Lu Xiaobu softly.

He’s a ruler, not a clown!

Even in death, he wants to maintain the dignity of a ruler!

"Yes, please!" Lu Xiaobu nodded and handed the wine glass to the Japan Emperor.

"My people are innocent, I hope you spare them!" The Japan Emperor made his last request.

In his eyes, the cup of wine was poison!

Poison that seals the throat upon encountering!

So, he was actually speaking his last words!

"Don’t worry, I’m always clear about right and wrong." Lu Xiaobu shrugged.

"Then I can rest assured." The Japan Emperor nodded, raised the glass, with a trace of reluctance for the mortal world in his clouded eyes.

Then, he drank all the wine in the glass!

"Crack!"

The glass fell to the ground and shattered instantly!

"Alright, you can leave now!" The Japan Emperor looked at Lu Xiaobu: "I don’t want to see you, my enemy, in the last moments of my life, I want to see my people!"

"No, no, no, you won’t die!" Lu Xiaobu’s lips curled into a smile: "If I wanted to kill you, why wait until now?!"

The Japan Emperor, even in secret preparations, was just a mascot in the open!

So, killing him has no meaning!

In fact, it would only make the situation more chaotic!

"Not killing me?! Then what did you just make me drink?!" The Japan Emperor’s composure was gone!

The primary feeling was a desire to live!

But what followed was endless terror!

Lu Xiaobu went through all this trouble, definitely not just to scare him!

So, while he might not die, it would certainly be worse than death!

"Ugh! Ugh!"

The Japan Emperor began to gag, trying to vomit it out!

But then, hallucinations started appearing in front of him!

After which, he heard Lu Xiaobu’s voice faintly: "It’s too late! Today is going to be the most important moment of your life!"

"Dance provocatively in front of the entire world!"

"Please!"
